Do Background Checks Reveal LL's?

I work for an organization associated with DHHS. I work with sensitive, private issues regarding child welfare and if successful, aid in reuniting children with their Bio-mom or Dad if things go well. Have only been at it 2 years but that is when they run another check. Both my LL's were received in the last 2 years. When I was hired I had never had an LL. Anything to worry about?

Never came up for me. I've had 2 LL''s over the years. Job I have now did a very thorough background check. Also drug screen and psych eval so I think the letters don't show up.
 
@Snoopzthis is what I always think! Maybe with credit card authorizations or direct bank account transfers? But isn’t the appeal of this crypto stuff the fact it’s untraceable? So any angry ex or enemy could place a sloppy order and use someone else’s mailing address right? Plus w just a LL…there’s no wrestling no investigation, no opportunity to defend oneself? Plus I would think with all the brethren on the forum, this would have come up no?
 
I can confirm and second all that -- even at high levels, I do not believe this type of derog is ever mentioned or used. I do not want to give any details here, but this is over a long period of many years. No issues.
 
There is no way a LL would be on a standard background check. My opinion anyway.
 
With all the LL’s I’ve received.. I still get waved right through customs and I frequently fly into the US from less than desirable countries.

Feds would have access to it.. employers? Unless you are applying for federal employment I doubt it.
 
Good to know! I have received one LL, never thought about if it could come up in a background check or customs. The LL I received was also using a different name and address so not sure how it could show up anyways. I was worried for awhile that my address would be flagged somehow, but I never had an issue after that using the same address.
 
Thanks all for good feedback. I do not think they have the man/women power to mail LL's for every seizure, especially Benzos and the higher scheduled meds. Wonder if there is a difference if they seize Strong PK's? Anyway, it is nice to know that this is no longer a worry for me and my line of work. I know I have had 2 snagged in last 6 months and nothing. I can find other jobs anyway. Watched "To Catch a Smuggler" on NG channel a few times and they have shown footage of ISC places. Rarely USA, but damn, it is tough to beat the X-Ray when folks are really looking. Have always thought that around holidays, or the night shift, or temporary workers are doing the job is when many get through. Won't name the vendor or COO, but have heard of a person far away that has unbeatable stealth. He is on the e-mail list here but long waits.
 
I had to do a federal background check with fingerprints and all, nothing showed up. Ironically it was for the post office lol

When you say long waits do you mean long waits to become a customer or long waits to receive the package?
 
While they don't show up on background checks, I do believe they have your address flagged if you get too many. The question is, how many is too many. I haven't been able to figure that out but I suspected my address was flagged so I started strictly ordering domestically.
 
Never had one show up on any background check I've had done. I wouldn't be surprised if at a certain point you could receive something that shows up on one though.

I've only had 4 LLs in the 5~ years of receiving about once a month, so I wouldn't worry too much.
 
The only place it could possibly come up, applying for high-level SES job at Customs and Border Patrol itself.

They keep records on all seizures by Customs, including airplane baggage and from people walking across the bridge to El Paso, or checking cars. If only to generate statistics on trends, etc.

They could certainly search for addresses sent 10 or 100 seizure notices per year, or whatever.

Drugs aren't the only things they seize. They could seize kretek cigarettes from Indonesia because the only "flavor" allowed is menthol.

Everything goes into a database. But agencies don't share unless they have to.

I'm pretty sure there are no markers on even the deepest background check for love letters. Even if it is sent directly to you it is very hard to prove that it was actually you ordered the items et cetera, you have to look at it from the law enforcement perspective courts and prosecutions as well as investigations of lengthy and very expensive procedures they have much more serious crimes to deal with than somebody trying to import prescription medication. Obviously if it is not prescription medication it will be a different story,
 
this is an interesting topic. i sometimes forget i got a LL about 5 years ago for something that looks especially not great (raw... stuff. from china). i don't really see myself ending up needing a background check for anything probably ever so that doesn't bother me so much but it is interesting that i don't have any kind of flag on me with CBP from that. they always wave me right through, even with that and me looking sketchy and having a history of other contacts with the authorities.

i wonder what the threshold is for them to bother you at CBP or for global entry. i would love to get global entry but from what i've read they might likely deny me just for having misdemeanors and i don't want to waste the application fee.

i also wonder how easily you could throw something like this off by for example intentionally slightly misspelling your own name when ordering? like a "sam smith" could place the order for "sam smtih", then if it gets intercepted it would just go into a file for some nonexistent "sam smtih"? thinking about that kind of illustrates how difficult it would be to really keep track of these things without significant human expenditure. for example, say our "sam" is named after his father, whom he lives with. package gets intercepted for "sam smith at such and such address" do they stick it on the father or the son? what about all the other people in their city/state with such a common name? they'd have to connect it to something like your social security number.

i feel like it follows logically then that unless your local cops are really, really bored or you're getting love letters on a very steady basis, the authorities probably won't bother with the expenditure required to investigate and create a whole case file on it to attach to you specifically as an individual. now, of course that's what would follow logically but as someone earlier illustrated with the example of civil asset forfeiture that might not necessarily hold true. so nobody take this as legal advice lmao.
 
I have to believe there is a database of LLs somewhere and if you applied to the CIA or something you would have some explaining to do. While detection of products that are potentially not permitted to be imported is commonplace, I can't imagine they are actually testing the all the products they seize. Testing all of that would be cost/time prohibitive. So if you get some loose pills that a dog sniffed out and decided not to claim them after a LL was sent, what can they possibly put in your file? We seized something suspicious?
